Difference operators
which is Newton's forward difference formula. The linear and quadratic (forward) interpolation
formulae correspond to first and second order truncation, respectively. If we truncate at n-th
order, we obtain
example :- consider the difference table of f (x) = sin x for x = 0°( 10°)50°:
Since the fourth order differences are constant, we conclude that a quartic approximation is
appropriate. (The third-order differences are not quite constant within expected round-offs, and
we anticipate that a cubic approximation is not quite good enough.) In order to determine sin 5°
from the table, we use Newton's forward difference formula (to fourth order); thus, taking xj = 0,
we find and

which is Newton's backward difference formula. The linear and quadratic (backward)
interpolation formulae correspond to truncation at first and second order, respectively. The
approximation based on the fj-n, fj-n+1, . . . , fj-1, fj is
intermediate value at which one needs to estimate the function falls towards the end or say (
in the second half of the data set then it may be better to start the estimation process from the last data 1
set point. For this we need to use backward-differences and backward difference table. 1
Let us first define backward differences and generate backward difference table, say for the data set .

)
First order backward difference is defined as:
In this case the reference point is and therefore we can derive the Newton-Gregory backward
difference interpolation polynomial as:

Where
For constructing as given in it will be easier if we first generate backward-difference table.
The backward difference table for the data is given below:
Example: Given the following data estimate using Newton-Gregory backward difference
interpolation polynomial:

Solution :
f(2) = 21
f(3) = 10
By Lagrange's formula :
f(0.25) =

It may also be noted for calculating the higher order divided differences we have used lower order divided
differences. In fact starting from the given zeroth order differences ; one can
systematically arrive at any of higher order divided differences. For clarity the entire calculation may be
depicted in the form of a table called
Again suppose that we are given the data set and that we are interested in finding the
order Newton Divided Difference interpolynomial. Let us first construct the Newton Divided Difference
Table. Wherein one can clearly see how the lower order differences are used in calculating the higher
order Divided Differences:
Example: Construct the Newton Divided Difference Table for generating Newton interpolation
polynomial with the following data set:
i 0 1 2 3 4
0 1 2 3 4
0 1 8 27 64
Solution:
Here . One can fit a fourth order Newton Divided Difference interpolation polynomial to the given
data. Let us generate Newton Divided Difference Table; as requested.
Note: One may note that the given data corresponds to the cubic polynomial . To fit such a data
order polynomial is adequate. From the Newton Divided Difference table we notice that the fourth order
difference is zero. Further the divided differences in the table can be directly used for constructing the
Newton Divided Difference interpolation polynomial that would fit the data.
